Hans Decoz

Beginning his study of Numerology in 1969, Hans opened his professional Numerology practice in 1982. His keen interest in computer science led him to develop a computer-based divination system to assist his client work. In 1985, he produced the first Numerology chart-maker program, called the DecozChart. This unique Numerology program produces a complete Numerology chart that captures the many cycles and changes each person goes through in any 50-year period. The DecozChart is responsible for the high degree of accuracy in the Numerology reports on Tarot.com.

Hansis the co-author of Numerology: The Key to Your Inner Self, and a line of Numerology products available on www.decoz.com offering Numerology reports like personality profiles and future forecasts. Born on May 15, 1949 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Hans currently resides in Arizona. He offers Numerology lectures, courses and personal consultations to people around the globe.

The nine single-digit numbers, 1 through 9, each have very specific, easy to recognize attributes. The 0 (zero), however, has no attributes, no character traits, no description whatsoever. It's a blank page but with a twist. The zero is the chameleon, the great enhancer, the multiplier and the gateway to infinity and immortality.

All numbers in your personal Numerology chart, no matter where they are found or what part of you they affect, have two functions: to help you recognize who you are and what you are made of, and to let you know what you need to complete yourself and become the most you can be.

Numerology's first and foremost purpose is to gain a better understanding of who you are, what you are made of, and what the future might hold for you. "Know thyself" is as relevant a statement today as it was when Plato used it 2,500 years ago.

There are many areas of confusion in Numerology, such as the different methods of calculation for the Life Path, or the true meaning of Master numbers and whether or not double-digit numbers such as 44, 55, and 66 should also be considered Master numbers. However, there is an underlying logic in Numerology that can remove those questions.

Numbers, like people, are not always as predictable as you might wish them to be. Each of the single-digit numbers has a wide range of qualities, many of them apparently paradoxical, as is the case with people. Some of their qualities are hiding in the wings until circumstances send them to center stage.

The question of a name change and the potential improvements this might make comes up all the time. And rightfully so. After all, we all want to have every advantage available in this life. There is, however, one small problem.

In Numerology all numbers have a personality: a range of attributes that are well-defined and specific to each single-digit number. While there are certain character traits that overlap or are shared among multiple numbers, the personalities of the numbers are dissimilar enough that they are easily recognizable.

It's human, and perfectly sensible, to expect things to change and mature toward some kind of climax -- as everything in nature eventually does. The evolution of living creatures -- of everything, actually -- always consists of a beginning, a middle, and presumably, an end (unless Darwinism is not your thing). The only limitation in recognizing this fact is time. A lot of it. It can take thousands, millions, even billions of years for this progression to complete itself. And since total destruction of the universe has not yet happened, most of creation is still in the middle stage.

I'm back on US soil after a few weeks of roaming my old stomping grounds in Amsterdam, a visit to my sister's place in France, a few days in Norway, a week each in Mumbai and Bangalore, and ten days in Goa.

This is immigrant nation. Unless you're a hundred percent Native American, you have immigrants' blood running through your veins. Your ancestry may go all the way back to the Mayflower, or it may go back only one or two generations

In my last blog, I explained how to find your Karmic Lessons and the way they can influence your life. The average number of Karmic Lessons one holds is between one and three, with two being the most common amount. It's not unusual to have no Karmic Lessons at all (the focus of a future blog), and there are quite a few people who have more than three Karmic Lessons, especially if they have short names.

My previous blog about Barack Obama's Numerology chart received a surprising number of angry comments. In the past I have written articles about Bush, Clinton, Carter, and others, but Obama seems to really light a fire under some people.

Let me try to be as objective as I can be when describing Barack Obama's Numerology chart. This is difficult, not so much due to the fact that he is my choice for president or because I like him as a human being, but because his is the quintessential politician's chart. Like him or not, the man was meant to be in politics.

The year was 2023 (no worries, it's just a random pick, it doesn't really matter what year it was -- although the sooner the better), when a woman named Angie woke up one beautiful morning and realized that she was sick and tired of war. She decided it was high time to put a stop to that nonsense.

For the last few decades I have been hearing about the power of visualization, and I'm pretty sure that it works -- to some extent anyway (although I have to admit that a part of me gets rather annoyed every time I hear someone talk about it). I finally figured out that the reason the subject of visualization irritates me is because it's a little like a bribe; an attempt to achieve a goal by means of corruption.

Scientists, God bless their clever minds, today have methods and instruments that can measure pretty much anything under the Sun. Instruments that vary in size from so small that they are practically invisible to the human eye, to a particle collider with a 17 mile circumference. There are telescopes floating miles above our planet and seismic instruments planted deep into Earth. We study and measure everything. Even brainwaves.

Evolution is a work in progress, and no one says you can't help it along a bit. In fact, many people do. When a person fights for what is right, sacrifices his or her time and effort to further a worthy cause, teaches children how to read and write and love each other, or devotes time in meditation or a quest for a deeper understanding, then that person pushes evolution forward, and I am pretty sure that has its own reward. What's interesting to me is the way evolution prioritizes.

You would realize, for example, that mankind has evolved in ways we rarely think about. Not only has the power of our minds grown, so has the power of our hearts. However, the focus has been far more on the mind than the heart. And yet, the heart also has evolved.
